Upgrade JIRA from 8.9 to 8.14

[Hartono _]

Hi, 

Currently I am running Standalone JIRA (all installer including database in one server) and installed on windows server 2019.

Currently, i am planning to upgrade my JIRA to 8.14 . But I got error on pre-upgrade checks.. said "Your Current Database version won't be supported".

The question is, how to check my current database version? and how to upgrade my database?

1. Settings 

2. System

3. System info

4. Find : A) Database type  B) Database version 

The following link will be helpful in knowing the compatibility of Software's like DB and Browsers and etc.

H2 is always unsupported, it's not the version.

Yes, you should migrated to a supported database, as soon as possible, before the h2 database fails catastrophically and you lose everything.

Dear All, 

Thank you for the reply.

I have checked my database version, and it is still using H2 embedded.

Do I have to migrate to another Compatible Database?

It is what it says - you're running a database that is on a version supported by 8.9 but won't do for 8.14, so you'll need to upgrade or migrate to a new one.

You can usually see the database version in the system incormation page in admin.
